A86500	The mischeife of mixt communions, fully discussed. All maine arguments on both sides, are largely canvased. Many difficulties demonstratively cleared, as that Judas was not at the Lords Supper, &c. When, and how was the originall of parishes in England. Severall cases of conscience resolved. As in case unworthy ones thrust into the Lords Supper; what single Christians should doe, and what the congregation should doe. A discovery what is the originall, and rise of all these disputes, and how a faire end may be put to all. / By Doctor Nathanael Homes.	Homes, Nathanael, 1599-1678.	1650 (1650)	Wing H2569A; Thomason E607_8; ESTC R205868	24,915	24

among_o the_o lutheran_n partly_o in_o doctrine_n namely_o that_o of_o consubstantiation_n and_o partly_o in_o ceremony_n many_o christian_n gather_v themselves_o into_o pure_a church_n at_o geneva_n

thus_o to_o both_o place_n distinct_o 1._o to_o that_o of_o 1_o cor._n 5._o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v in_o the_o past_a time_n of_o thing_n past_a not_o of_o what_o in_o

not_o imagine_v that_o by_o example_n all_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n can_v become_v incestuous_a person_n but_o paul_n speak_v of_o the_o danger_n of_o the_o levening_n the_o whole_a lump_n 2._o he_o speak_v of_o keep_v the_o feast_n pure_o and_o of_o not_o eat_v with_o a_o brother_n walk_v disorderly_a therefore_o from_o all_o its_o plain_a the_o apostle_n drive_v at_o more_o than_o evil_a example_n namely_o at_o evil_a of_o church-communion_n with_o unworthy_a person_n so_o likewise_o to_o the_o 2d._o place_n viz._n 1_o cor._n 10._o we_o say_v that_o as_o there_o be_v a_o

much_o afore_o 2._o let_v we_o speak_v something_o to_o their_o argument_n for_o mix_a communion_n a_o little_a will_v serve_v because_o former_a thing_n have_v anticipate_v ob._n 1_o 1._o they_o

14.40_o but_o parochial_a church_n in_o the_o matter_n for_o the_o generality_n consist_v of_o profane_a and_o ignorant_a and_o their_o form_n and_o union_n be_v only_o by_o the_o gutter_n and_o

defend_v mix_v communion_n which_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n do_v not_o if_o they_o break_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n yet_o they_o do_v not_o teach_v man_n so_o so_o that_o in_o many_o

that_o the_o corinthian_n be_v not_o blame_v for_o come_v because_o of_o they_o uncast_a out_o
